Dianne's teacher has a chunk of dry ice for the class to look at. Dry ice is a kind of frozen gas—it is very cold. The teacher w

arns her class not to touch it. When Dianne holds her hand near it, it feels like the dry ice is radiating cold. What is really happening?
A) Heat energy from Dianne's hand is being transferred to the dry ice even though she is not touching it.
B) Chemicals in the dry ice are tricking Diane's nerves into thinking she feels cold.
C) Cold energy from the dry ice is being transferred to Diane's hand even though she is not touching it.
D) Small pieces of the dry ice are breaking off and hitting Diane's hand, making it feel cold.

Answer:

A) Heat energy from Dianne's hand is being transferred to the dry ice even though she is not touching it.

Explanation:

In this example, we learn that Dianne feels cold when she holds her hand close to the dry ice. In fact, Dianne feels as it the cold is moving from the dry ice to her hand. However, this is not what is happening. Changes in temperature occur when heat is transferred from a warm body to a colder one. Therefore, what is actually occurring is that heat energy from Dianne's hand is being transferred to the dry ice even though she is not touching it, and this makes her feel cold.

A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0 degrees. What is
zvonat [6]
Work done is when a force is exerted to cause a displacement in a certain object. 
the equation for work done ;
work done = force applied * displacement of the object 
when the force applied is not in the same direction as that of the displacement of the object then the effect of the force is not its whole value. The force is then applied at an angle to that of the displacement of the object, then the resultant force is the force exerted* cos of the angle between force and displacement, in this instance the angle is 40 °.
the new equation is then;
work done = force cos 40° * displacement
after substitution,
work = 25 N * 0.76 * 50 m
         = 957.55 J
round it off
         = 9.6 *10² J
the correct answer is B

Explain how tidal forces are causing Earth to slow down.
dybincka [34]

Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.
